My PC is running Win ME, and on bootup it says that I need to use SCANREG /FIX at the command prompt. Easy. BUT, I cant get into DOS because after this message is displayed, an add new hardware dialogue box pops up and then my PC freezes. And I can't access DOS by pressing F8 at bootup because its windows ME. I would be very grateful for any ideas on what to do.
